Translation
(1) Je je Harie karyu het evu kare koṇ āpṇe re
Je je Harie karyu het, evu kare koṇ āpṇe re;
Māt tāt sagā samet, mānyā sanehī bhoḷāpaṇe re... 1
(1) Who else can love us like God has loved us in the many ways? We have considered our mother, father, and other family as our own due to our naïveté.
Jone garbhavāsnī trās, tāḷī ṭaḷe kem koynī re;
Te paṇ tāḷīne avināsh, rākhe khabar anna toynī re... 2
(2) Who can rid our distress of being born in the womb? God rid us of this misery, while also ensuring his devotees have food and water.
Vaḷī same same sambhāḷ, jāṇo kare harijan ne re;
Bīju evu koṇ dayāḷ, kā re manāy nahi manne re... 3
(3) Moreover, he looks after his devotees time and time again. Who else is more merciful? It is impossible to believe it (his care for us).
Em samjyā vinā jan, āve unmattāī angmā re;
Kahe Nishkuḷānand vachan, pachhī man mane kusangmā re... 4
(4) Without this understanding, one becomes arrogant (of their own efforts and strength). Nishkulanand Swami says his mind starts believing in bad company.
